Sharon Donovan a beloved friend and fellow author passed away. But we had to visit her home and see her family. She was there in her room. No where else. Not at the cemetery or in the church. But we felt her warmth and love as we sat in front of her laptop. She was something else! Love you Sharon!

    It was easy, she was wonderful. And Lyn is just as amazing a person. Thanks Patrice.

    You're pretty wonderful yourself Mary!

    I had an amazing time with you, visiting Sharon's home and family, and also in Ohio, in Amish Country.

    You're so right, Sharon is where she belongs, in the house she grew up in full of love and laughter. Her beautiful room where she wrote those fabulous stories, was filled with her vivaciousness and loving spirit. We all felt it.

    Yes, we love you Sharon, and you touched everyone who knew you, and filled them with admiration for all your courage and determination.

    So sorry for your loss Mary. What a beautiful tribute video. I have to learn how to make a video with still photos. What a wonderful talent to have. This was almost as good as an actual trip. Thanks for sharing.

    I can't take credit for this video. It was a talented Hywela Lyn, who took the pictures, which I stink at. She made the slideshow and it makes me weepy every time I look at it.
